The machine spins out some times and not others but it also goes off balance a lot now which it never did . When I lifted the lid and watched it it did its job . All rods holding bowl are in place and belt looks Ok . When machine is switched on it makes a grating sound but goes away when water is added. Sounds as though rubber is dry. No noise from any bearings when running.

The pin is a shipping pin and serves no purpose after the machine is set up. These machines comes with a plastic strap through the back panel to hold components in place for shipping. There are plastic cups that the pins fall into after the strap is pulled.
Ignore the pin.
Your no spin problem is a stripped out direct drive coupling between the motor and transmission.
It is a easy fix.
Use the attached video as reference to change out the part.

These machines are good washers. If you rearrange the load and that does not help, the washer not be level.This washer if it is the one I think it is, it does have a belt very seldom do the clutches go out unless you you maybe do50 loads a day. my guess is that it is not level and you will need a short level and place it on the front edge of the washer and see side to side then on the right or left side front to back . Most of these are equipped with self levelers. Put your foot in front of the washer at the base pull forward on back to lift the rear feet off the floor about 2 inches and set it carefully back down then check both ways again until it shows level, you may have to repeat this once or twice. If it still shows not level you my have to turn the front feet in or out until level. Remember use a combination tilting to the front and adjusting the front ones.

Lid Switch needs to be replace. Washer wont spin without lid switch.
